intro:
C   G   Am   F (Dm/F) <--Paul plays this chord on the piano, 
C   G    F  C G C        but most guitarists will just hold out F


         C             G    
When I find myself in times of trouble,
  Am         F
Mother Mary comes to me,
   C                G            F  C  G  C
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
    C                G
And in my hour of darkness,
         Am                F
She is standing right in front of me,
   C                 G            F  C  G  C
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.


            Am         G           F         C
     Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
       C                 G            F  C  G  C
     Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.


     C                G    
And when the broken hearted people
  Am            F
Living in the world agree,
   C               G            F  C  G  C
There will be an answer, let it be.
      C                   G
For though they may be parted,
           Am                  F
There is still a chance that they will see,
  C                G            F  C  G  C
There will be an answer, let it be.

     
            Am         G           F         C
     Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
           C                 G            F  C  G  C
     Yea, there will be an answer, let it be.
            Am         G           F         C
     Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
       C                 G           F  C  G  C
     Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
